Proposers must attend a mandatory site visit on Friday, April 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT at 2350 Hargrove Road E, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405, with failure to attend resulting in proposal rejection. The contract will be established for an initial 12-month period with options to extend for up to four additional 12-month periods.
